A Thrown Attack is one of the many Special Attack Types featured in Master of Magic. A Thrown Attack is only executed as an integral part of a unit's Melee Attack, and always delivers simple Physical Damage. Its primary purpose, aside from hurting the enemy, is to try and kill of as many enemy File:Icon Figure.png as possible before the rest of the Melee combat process (including the enemy's retaliation) can take place. Thrown Attacks are only executed when the attacker is voluntarily initiating Melee combat. They do not work when Counter Attacking to an enemy assault.
